Good to know

Smástirni — your questions, answered

Which size should I knit?
Five sizes — 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 years — with a chest of 68, 72, 77, 81 and 86 cm and 26 to 34 cm from hem to underarm.
Do I have to cut my knitting?
Yes. Two purled stitches at centre front form a steek that you machine-stitch twice and cut open. The Léttlopi band picked up around the front and hood is folded over the cut edge.
Why two yarns?
The jacket itself is thick Álafosslopi on 6 mm needles; the thinner Léttlopi is used for the folded hems, cuffs and front band so the edges stay neat and not bulky.
Will I have yarn left over?
The kit holds the amount for 6 and 8 years: 4 balls of white Álafosslopi, 1 of light grey Álafosslopi and 2 of white Léttlopi. 3 to 5 years use 3 white Álafosslopi, and 3 years uses 1 Léttlopi.
What does the kit with needles include?
6 mm (US 10) circular needles in 40 and 60 cm; a 4 mm (US 6) circular needle in 80 cm; 3.5 mm (US 4) and 4.5 mm (US 7) circular needles in 40 cm; 4 mm and 6 mm double-pointed needles — ADDI, the sizes the pattern names. The pattern allows 60 or 80 cm for the long 4 mm needle. Snap fasteners are not included.
